Jackson on fire since return from DL.
DETROIT -- The Tigers have had to keep an eye on Austin Jackson's hamstring since his return from the disabled list two weeks ago. They have not, however, had to worry about his bat.

Jackson entered Thursday's homestand finale against the Angels with a 10-game hitting streak, his longest since last summer and the fifth-longest of his career. In the process, he has raised his average 40 points on the season to .306.

For someone who had just three rehab games at Triple-A Toledo before he returned from the DL on June 14, it's a fast start.

Moreover, Jackson has coupled those hits with walks -- six of them in the previous three games.

As Jackson goes, the Tigers' offense tends to follow. They were at their high-powered best when Jackson was reaching base to lead off innings in April. They withstood his DL stint for a couple weeks but finally showed signs of slowing in early June, but their leadoff hitter's return has them back on track.

Simulated game goes well for Anibal.
DETROIT -- The smile on Anibal Sanchez's face as he walked off the mound at Comerica Park on Thursday morning made him look like a pitcher very close to returning to game action. That return, however, won't happen until next weekend at the earliest.

After throwing about 40 pitches by his count in a simulated game, Sanchez said he'll pitch in a Minor League rehab start next Monday. Sanchez said that will likely take place at Class A Lakeland, where Sanchez can drive over after the Tigers finish their weekend series at Tampa Bay.

"Everything feels good," Sanchez said after the simulated game. "Everything feels back to normal. I just need to wait for the process."

Sanchez has spent the past week and a half on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder strain that has impacted him for a few weeks. The hope when Sanchez went on the DL was that he'd miss just two starts before returning on Monday for the Tigers' series opener in Toronto.

Jose Alvarez has taken Sanchez's spot in the rotation the last two turns, and he will again on Monday. Sanchez is hoping to return to his rotation spot the next turn, which would fall on July 6 in Cleveland.

Avila finding groove on rehab assignment.
DETROIT -- After going 0-for-8 in his first two games at Triple-A Toledo, catcher Alex Avila is finally starting to heat up at the plate in his minor-league rehab assignment.

Avila, who joined the Mud Hens on rehab on Monday, hit a pair of doubles Wednesday in a 5-4 loss at Pawtucket. One was an RBI liner to right in the fourth inning, the other was a fly ball to center in the sixth, both off Red Sox farmhand Steven Wright. Avila took a called third strike in the seventh.

The doubles raised Avila's numbers to 3-for-16 with five strikeouts in four games, three of them as a designated hitter. Considering manager Jim Leyland said earlier in the week that Avila's hitting will be as important as his health during his rehab, it's a step in the right direction.

Avila will have at least a few more games through the end of the week before he's eligible to come off the disabled list on Tuesday.

Manager Jim Leyland praised Torii Hunter going from second to third base on Miguel Cabrera's third-inning fly ball Wednesday, setting up the Tigers' third run of the night on Prince Fielder's ensuing single to right. "It was definitely worth a shot to get to third base with one out because he can score on a sacrifice fly," Leyland said.
